Day 9

Noticed that we had a funky tire on the trailer so we will add air on the first fuel fill up.

We did that and as we were driving we decided to change routes. Pulled into truck plaza and noticed a big chunk out of that tire. Fred changed the tire and we were back on the road. (We did have a good laugh when we took the cover off the spare - a bird nest fell out.) We had not used the spare since the Alaska trip. It was on OK spare but not the best. We decided to find a tire store while it was early and put two new matching tires on the trailer. We have tandem wheels so that is a great help.

We called the Good Sam help list in our Woodall's book and got a lovely couple who know where we could go. They offered to meet us on the exit ramp and drive us to the store. They did just that and even called ahead to tell the service center we were coming. It was so very kind. They stayed with us while the service was been done and we talked like we had known each other a long time. They are Atlanta Braves fans and had been to Turner Field. What a small world.

We were back on the road in two hours and bid our Good Samaritans from Taylor, NY good by. We will surely not foget their genuine kindness. Needless to say we did not get as far as planned. Found a nice KOA and called it a night.
